Designed to introduce electronic construction and amateur radio to Christchurch youth, an enthusiastic group of 15 builders completed their AM Broadcast radio receivers in record time. All worked! Builders also came from as far away as Timaru and Hamilton NZ, plus Asia and Egypt.

She then spent an hour meeting the children and local radio amateurs who gave of their time to ensure each radio worked! A total of 44 parents, children and radio amateurs joined in the fun, sponsored by the Christchurch City Council, NZART Radioscience Education Trust Inc, N Z Vintage Radio Society Christchurch and Branches 05, 56, 68 of NZART and C.A.R.D.S.
